I may go in on a cow with a couple friends.
investment up front but in the long run it's literally half the cost of buying even in bulk at big box stores plus i'd have all kinds of cuts plus ground beef.
I would have to buy a chest freezer.

I used myself as an example. I never buy drinks because I dislike soda, and I always buy from the dollar menu. McDouble with Big Mac sauce tastes the same as a Big Mac, but costs 1/3rd as much.

Sounds like other than making the bad choice to eat fast food to begin with that beyond that you're very economically smart about it. Most people aren't. Almost everyone who eats at those places aren't.

Quite a broad brush stroke, son, especially for a cat who claims to never step foot into fast-food places.

Where do you shop bro? A pound of ground beef should be like $5 even if you buy it in a small portion; more like $3/lb if you buy the big pack. A pack of buns is like $2. Lettuce is $1. You buying new bottles of ketchup every time you go to the store?

You guys have it nice, here in Canada, I think lettuce is close to $5, a lot of greens are close tot hat range now and a fillet of salmon is 20 to 30...

I understand that bread baking is SUPER HOT right now.

Super hot, really? It is a challenge and it almost takes being a mad chemist. You learn something every time to make it. I have wanted to make some wheat bread, but with the plague, wheat is hard to find.

Helping one person may not change the world, but it could change the world for one person.

Whole wheat flour, or grinding wheat berries yourself?

If you live around any Mormons or Amish...maybe Methodist...they are known for keeping storehouses. I believe I read you can find whole wheat berries at places that sell grain and animal feed.

Came across a post someplace that claimed you could grind wheat berries down into flour with a Vitamix blender in the normal canister. No idea if that is true though, just saw the blurb in a search.

Bread baking is very "in", particularly sourdough:

But in early March, Ely noticed a change in the questions. Partly it was an increase in the sheer number of calls, a jump that seemed more sudden and pronounced than the normal mild pre-Easter build-up. But even stranger was how many of the callers seemed, well, clueless. How do you tell if bread is done? Do I really need yeast? And strangest of all: What can I use instead of flour?

Ely and the other half-dozen or so hotline experts share an open office with the employees who take call-in orders from customers, and they, too, were getting a flood of odd calls. Namely, countless people were calling in to order as many as 10 of the company’s five-pound bags of flour at once. Who would need that much flour in their homes? “That was another data point that told us this wasn’t just the holiday build-up,” recalls Ely.

Ely and her colleagues didn’t know it, but across Carbohydrate Camelot — the name that employees gave the 14-acre headquarters campus in Norwich, Vermont, that contains a restored farmhouse and a handful of small buildings — co-CEO Karen Colberg was staring in shock at the recent daily sales figures that had just popped up on her screen. “I fired off a text to the sales team to check their figures,” says Colberg. “It was obviously some sort of mistake.”

No mistake, came the reply. The figures had already been double-checked. They showed a 600% increase in grocery-store sales almost literally overnight.

Within hours, a simple truth became clear. Flour was flying off grocery-store shelves, propelled by a sudden and seemingly insatiable demand that was carrying into King Arthur’s much smaller online business, too. It was as if half of America had decided all at once that they needed to bake. A lot.

TFW you are in a giant Wal-mart and the entire dry goods baking section is near bare. I just needed baking soda. My brother has been getting into poison ivy at work and it helps better than anything. Still need some.
